Back in the days when Native Americans and White Settlers
disagreed on proper housing and land use, relations sometimes became a little
tense.In fact some say that most Native
Americans refused to play fair and resorted to harassing white settlers and
messing up their gardens.

However after some tense moments, some really cool white guy
had this great idea.This really cool
white guy proposed that Native Americans be given their own land and be allowed
to continue the practice of heathen worship.The best part of this really cool white guy’s idea was that the
“promised” land would be far away from white people.

Other really cool white people spread the news to their
Native neighbors. And with the help of friendly militia, the Native American’s
belongings were packed with bubble wrap and then covered with blankets (gifts
from really cool white people).

On moving day the Native Americans showed up eager to get to
the “promised” land.The friendly
militia led the way and helped make the trip more efficient by making
“arrangements” for the very young and very old Native Americans.

Upon reaching the “promised” land a fence was erected around
the Native American land and guards were posted for the continued “protection”
of the Native Americans and their heathen worship.Upon seeing the “promised” land the Native
Americans cried with joy.And that’s why
it was called the Trail of Tears.

1) This really cool idea—giving Native Americans “promised”
land and help moving by friendly militia—by a really cool white guy caught on
and to this day Native Americans have the opportunity to live in gated
communities with all expenses paid.
